| okay this isnt really a question just me saying what happened anyway a few weeks ago they started bulldozing the woods behind my house. i loved those woods the place was litterally full of bonsai potential and i just liked to go back there and walk around. okay it wasnt exactly my property but it used to be my grandfathers but when he died it became my great uncles (is that the right term for your grandfathers brother?) anyway they are starting to build a new highway going to murfreesboro and i think thats why they mowed it all down . but the weird thing is the only trees they left standing is a few pine trees and one live oak and theyre not moving all the felled trees out of the way yet so anyway im just kinda sad they didnt warn me so i could go back there armed with a shovel and a bucket to collect all that potensai (i heard that word somewhere in the forumns it means a plant that has good potential for bonsai) |

| oh on a similar note there is still a very small pocket of woods left and pretty much the only plants left in there are some sort of holly, several types of oak, and a few things i cant identify what i wanna know is how would an oak do as a bonsai i know they have HUGE taproots but if i can dig it up young and gradually remove the taproot would it make a good bonsai i live in middle tennessee so the weather is pretty mild though wet and ofcourse since they are native i wouldnt think it would be difficult to care for |
